Ferber method and mornings

[FerBaby]

We have just done night 3 of sleep training with our 10 month old DD and it's going well. She is now waking up earlier (6am instead of 7), but that's fine as she is at last getting a decent amount of sleep through the night. However, I don't understand how she won't expect to be got up for the day when she wakes in the night? I suppose because it's still so dark at 6am and definitely feels like the middle of the night to me
She would previously babble for a bit first thing but now she cries a bit, so I don't see how she will differentiate between night wakings and morning if you see what I mean. When we were having all the night wakings it seemed more like she wanted to play rather than comfort. Sorry if this makes no sense, like I said it still feels like the middle of the night to me!

Also how do I know at what point I should get her up rather than start the timer? Eg. if she wakes at 5 (which hasn't happened yet but I'm sure it will at some point)

I always just got the child up if it was 6am and used a groclock to teach about suitable getting up times when a bit older. Their body clock adjusted quite quickly to waking up at the correct time after starting to sleep through (think about a week or 2), so it wasn’t really an issue.

You can have a morning “routine” - same idea as a bedtime routine. Ie when she wakes after 6am you open the curtains, turn on the light, even have a morning phrase you always say (my SIL goes one step further and plays “Here comes the sun”!)

I just pick my time to be honest until they can get the gro clock. I’m not getting up before 7 and I’m stubborn so I just keep on going in and saying it’s nighttime

I have a projector which plays music. If she wakes in the night, I turn it on and set the timer for half an hour (we also do this for bedtime). So if she wakes up at 6 I go in, tell her it’s nighttime still, give her a cuddle and put that on, and leave again. If it’s after about 7 I go in, turn the light on etc and get her up.
